A striking barn conversion in the heart of the Norfolk countryside offers an idyllic rural retreat for families or a group of friends who wish to share a holiday together. The characterful single-storey property sleeps eight guests, plus one pet, and is located in a hamlet surrounded by farmland. A mile away is the pretty village of Lyng, on the banks of the gentle River Wensum. The Wensum Valley offers peaceful walks for you and your canine companion in the surrounding countryside,
Original features such as ceiling beams, semi-circular windows and exposed brick walls, together with wooden furniture, enhance the rustic atmosphere of this welcoming holiday home. The spacious sitting room is the hub of the house, with an impressive brick chimney breast, comfortable seating and cosy spots for a doggy bed or blanket. You’ll find all you need to cook up a feast in the kitchen, with a large dining table for communal meals. There are four bedrooms and a wet room with a wheel-in shower. Outside is a large, shared garden with a lawn, outdoor furniture and a BBQ.
Lyng has a well-stocked village shop and adjoining tearoom, as well as a 300-year-old pub serving meals made with local produce. Follow the Wensum Way to the Sparham Pools Nature Reserve (2 miles) and look out for wildlife while your four-legged friend explores interesting new smells. Another peaceful walk or gentle cycle ride takes you along the long-distance Walsingham Way which runs through Lyng. Further afield, visit historic Norwich (16 miles) to explore this historic cathedral city, which has a wealth of dog-friendly pubs and cafes where your tail-waggers will receive a warm welcome.
